Recognition of the study programs
All degree programs featured on this homepage are being offered by the Jagiellonian Academy of Lifelong Learning in Uherské Hradiště (Jagiellońská akademie celoživotního vzdělávání v Uherském Hradišti) and are classified as "professional managerial studies." Unlike traditional academic programs that fall within the standard three-tier system established by the European Qualification Framework—Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees—these programs operate outside of that framework. Instead of following the conventional academic progression, they are specifically designed as accelerated and flexible continuing education programs for professionals who are already engaged in their careers and seek to enhance both their academic knowledge and practical skills.
These programs are characterized by a strong emphasis on bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world application. While they maintain rigorous academic standards, their primary goal is to equip students with knowledge and tools that can be directly applied to their professional environments. This practical focus ensures that what is learned during the program can be implemented immediately in the workplace, allowing students to make a tangible impact in their roles as managers, leaders, or specialists within their respective fields.
Professional managerial studies are especially valuable for those who are aiming to take on leadership positions or wish to deepen their expertise in management practices without necessarily pursuing a traditional academic path. Unlike degree programs that prioritize theoretical research, these studies are built on the premise that advanced academic education should not only increase knowledge but also improve decision-making, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills in a business or organizational context.
Moreover, the curriculum of these programs is tailored to meet the needs of working professionals. It integrates case studies, real-world examples, and practical assignments that are relevant to the current challenges faced by industries today. By focusing on the direct application of academic concepts to managerial practices, these programs ensure that students can align their learning with the specific needs of their professional environments.
In summary, the professional managerial studies offered on this homepage provide a flexible and practical alternative to the traditional academic route, offering professionals the chance to further their education without having to follow the conventional Bachelor/Master/Doctorate structure. These programs are ideal for individuals seeking to enhance their career prospects through advanced knowledge and skills that can immediately be put to use in their professional life.
